"What is the detection limit?" King Saigao asked after watching Vegeta III put on the scouter.
"The detection limit is twenty thousand!"
King Saigao pursed his lips, unimpressed. "The limit is too low! In the future, design the maximum limit as high as possible! Come, test my battle power and see what it is!"
"Yes! I will instruct our scientists to develop it as soon as possible!" Vegeta III replied, then pressed the switch on the scouter and aimed it at King Saigao.
"Beep, beep, beep! Battle power 1,000! Wait, King Saigao, how can your battle power only be 1,000?" Vegeta III exclaimed.
Thinking he had misread it, he checked again, but the number displayed on the scouter remained "1,000."
The others were also extremely confused. Wasn't it said that King Saigao had easily defeated Beria and the others? How could his battle power only be 1,000!?
"What's the rush? This is the result of me suppressing my own battle power. I have good news for you: I can lower my battle power to the 500 level. Do you believe me?"
Everyone shook their heads subconsciously, then nodded once they realized what he meant.
Seeing their skeptical expressions, King Saigao focused on suppressing his aura, and the scouter in front of Vegeta III began to beep immediately.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
"Ah! The... the battle power really dropped to 500! King Saigao, you are truly amazing!" Vegeta III exclaimed. "This technique is a masterpiece!"
"Is that so, King Vegeta?"
Beria was still accustomed to calling Vegeta III "King Vegeta," but he was met with a rebuke from Vegeta III.
"Beria, you don't need to call me King Vegeta anymore. Call me Vegeta III, or you can call me Captain Vegeta."
He looked at the others, his face devoid of any reluctance or attachment, and continued, "The same goes for all of you! From now on, there is only one king of the Saiyans, and that is King Saigao! Of course, during the secret plan, you must still call me 'King Vegeta' in public, otherwise, the enemy might discover us!"
After speaking, he looked back at the scouter, both surprised and excited.
"King Saigao has truly mastered the technique of freely controlling battle power! This is great! Once we learn it, we won't be easily detected by the enemy!"
"Beep, beep, beep!"
"King Saigao is currently increasing his battle power! 1,000... 2,000... 9,000... 10,000! The battle power is still rising! I knew it, it's impossible for King Saigao to only have 1,000 battle power!"
Everyone present was astonished; 10,000 battle power already surpassed the vast majority of Saiyans!
What shocked them most was that the battle power continued to climb!
At the same time, they felt the powerful pressure of the aura radiating from King Saigao. Everyone had to steel themselves and stand firm; it would be a huge embarrassment to be knocked over by the pressure of his aura.
"Beep, beep, beep!"
"15,000... 16,000..."
"Beep, beep, beep!"
"19,000... 20,000! Ah!"
Bang!
The scouter worn by Vegeta III exploded, shattering into pieces and causing him to let out a cry.
At this moment, not a single person harbored any doubt. If someone with over 20,000 battle power wasn't qualified to be the King of the Saiyans, then no one else was!
Everyone straightened their backs, looking at King Saigao with deep respect, awe, and a sense of pure fanaticism.
King Saigao retracted his aura at the right moment, a faint smile on his face. "My battle power is more than 20,000, but I don't intend to tell you the exact number right now."
"Alright, let's officially begin teaching you how to control your own aura..."
The theoretical instruction did not take long; King Saigao copied Gohan's method of teaching aura control, which only took a few minutes.
"The method has been given to you. Practice it yourselves. Work in pairs, using one scouter per group to test each other. Once you can control it at will, then congratulations, you have graduated!"
"After you graduate, I will teach you how to train to increase your battle power! Go back and practice, and remember, don't let anyone else find out!"
"Yes! King Saigao!"
After Vegeta III and the others left, King Saigao also began his path of arduous training.
Training for one day increased his battle power by 50.
From May 9th to May 15th, King Saigao performed six more simulations, all of which selected battle power rewards.
His actual training increased his total battle power by 850.
By May 15th, all 20 Saiyan warriors were able to initially control their own aura freely.
On May 16th, the 20 elite warriors returned to the secret base to begin training with King Saigao.
Although the training intensity was high, for Saiyans who had been accustomed to high gravity since childhood, they gritted their teeth and persevered.
By May 25th, after 10 consecutive days of high-intensity training, everyone's strength had improved significantly, with a minimum increase of 200 battle power. This boosted their enthusiasm for training, and they were eager to train through the night, but King Saigao stopped them, saying that balancing work and rest was the only way to increase battle power faster.
This time, everyone believed it and followed King Saigao's guidance and arrangements.
The 20 elite warriors were already members of four squads, and there was no significant gap in the battle power increase among members of the same squad.
The Bardock Squad was an exception, as Bardock had increased his battle power by 350 in 10 days, reaching the level of a mid-to-high-class warrior, while the others had only increased by about 200.
The Paragus Squad was relatively balanced, with battle power increases ranging from 330 to 360.
The variance within Vegeta III's squad was relatively large; Vegeta III was the tallest and also saw the greatest improvement among the twenty individuals, increasing by 450.
As for the mid-level warrior squad, one member only improved by 250, while the other four all increased by 300 to 320, with their combat power all reaching five to six thousand.
The combat power of the three squads is as follows:
Bardock Squad Bardock: 12,350 (12,000) Fasha: 8,260 (8,000) Tora: 8,750 (7,500) Dodobo: 6,730 (6,500) Pabujin: 6,210 (6,000)
Paragus Squad Paragus: 9,360 (9,000) Malandon: 7,350 (7,000) Kaiboma: 7,350 (7,000) Halan: 6,330 (6,000) Fasen: 5,330 (5,000)
Vegeta III Squad Vegeta III: 10,450 (10,000) Beria: 9,430 (9,030) Beijiasi: 9,430 (9,030) Hafisi: 8,880 (8,500) Luoga: 8,350 (8,000)
Mid-level Warrior Squad—Zel Squad Zel: 6,120 (5,800) Molake: 5,810 (5,500) Kelin: 5,700 (5,400) Dien: 5,500 (5,200) Luoyi: 5,250 (5,000)
The Bardock Squad fought on the front lines year-round; even with only lower-class warrior aptitude, their rich combat experience had subtly allowed their innate talent to improve further.
At the same time, Bardock's combat power was the highest currently on Planet Vegeta, excluding Saigo.
Everyone was very satisfied to learn of their increase in combat power, as they had never imagined that combat power could be improved through training.
In their understanding, combat power increased naturally with age, and they had never considered that it could be enhanced through training methods.
